   Anyone had any experience with AIRTEX parts? VTS waterpump
   
   I'm changing the timing belt on my VTS this week and Euro Car Parts have given me an SKF belt kit (no worries there) and an AIRTEX waterpump.

   My local motor factors did Valeo pumps for 22quid, so Im not sure Id go trying to save money on a bit that circulates coolant AND keeps the timing belt where it is!
